NEW YORK — Sarah Palin has finished her memoir just four months after the book deal was announced. Her publisher says the release date has been moved up from the spring to Nov. 17.
Harper publisher Jonathan Burnham says the former Alaska governor invested herself deeply and passionately in the project. He says the book contains fascinating detail.
The 400-page book is the first for Palin, who has been an object of fascination since Republican Sen. John McCain chose her as his running mate during his 2008 presidential bid. The book will be called "Going Rogue: An American Life."
A huge first printing of 1.5 million copies has been commissioned by Harper,...

Oh I hope this also means she’ll be hitting the talk radio circuit to promote it.
I’d better be getting this for Christmas! Better yet, Thanksgiving. The Friday after is always my day to myself to curl up with a good book! Yay!
That title is perfect.
I suppose Mr. Levin can hold down the #1 slot on the NYT Best Seller List till then...
WOW I did not expect this. I am SO getting this book! I LOVE THE NAME
Ha! I was just disappointed in reading the title (but I’m glad it’s coming out so soon):

This is perfect! The book will be released right before the Holidays and the mid-terms. Which means it’ll be in the public conscious instead of drowned out by the elections. Can’t wait to pre-order this baby on Overstock!
I’ve got one coming out at the same time called ‘Going Commando’. It will be on the shelf, right next to Sarah’s book.
Pushed up the release date... hehehehe.... :-)
Go Sarah!
The first printing will sell out before a month has passed.
Yes!
Dont for get to check out www.half.com for it too. Great place to get them new/used/eaten by a dog at a fair market value. You can pre-order it there too and set your price limit. FYI
I wonder if she did it alone? If so, she sure didn’t have the writer’s block obama had. I wonder how big her advance was. Could have been huge. Legal bills should be covered.
I'll take that...
She sure finished her first book a lot faster than Obama did. And I suspect with a lot less help.
So, this explains why she has not been seen out much in public. Good work, Sarah. We need you.
FYI...give one to your lib sister for Christmas. LOL.
Mine will be titled “Going Broke”, co-authored with 200+ million other Americans; it will be on the shelf right next to FUBO’s DOMF.
Yeah, I’m just afraid she already has too much of that reputation. Same reason I wanted policy rather than personal story. Oh well, nobody’s hiring me for political advice—and I’m glad she’s getting out there again sooner rather than later. That’s the best news to me.
Where can you can pre-order it?
400 pages is A LOT to write in such a short period of time. Well, in all respect to Obama, Bill Ayers was pretty busy during the time he helped him write his book. Being a terrorist is a hard job. I am SO excited to read this book, it’s gonna be AWESOME. Then the book tours, hopefully my dream of meeting her will finally come true
Betcha she’s been honest about her role and won’t stop short of giving her ghost writer full credit.
Maybe I’ll try Overstock.com. Bought Glenn Becks book at Borders, and those elitist pigs had the book in the back of the store where no one could see it. Of course coming in the front door, was a table loaded with the murderer Kennedy books, and in back of that table another one filled with the Obamination family.
The day before my birthday. Perfect.
Whatever she does, she should NEVER appear on the dreaded, nasty, low brow “The View”. What a horrible program, hosted by some of the nastiest, poor excuses for women I ever saw.
I never could understand why people like Michelle Malkin, found it necessary to appear on The View to promote their books. You are much better off appearing on Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, and advertising your book on conservative web sites than wasting your time on The View. With close to a million supporters on Facebook, Sarah Plain shouldn't find it hard to sell her book at all. She should be able to make a nice sum from the book to cover her legal bills arising from those frivolous 0bama inspired "ethics complaints", and have plenty left over for a very nice nest egg.
Exactly!
Now I know what the title should have been: “Going After the Rogue!”
Betcha she didn't. Link
I betcha Bill Ayers didn’t have a hand in writing it!
Overstock is a great website, I do almost all of my online shopping there.
It will be a late Happy Birthday to me gift as my birthday is a few weeks prior.
I hope the first edition sells out quickly. I believe it will..
“I suppose Mr. Levin can hold down the #1 slot on the NYT Best Seller List till then”
Nope.
Glenn Beck is the King from this week when the NYT rankings come out.
Lynn Vincent of “World” Mag was her writer. I know Lynn, but don’t know what the advance was. I’m betting something like $1 m, but possibly less, as Palin has never had a book before.
That’s a thought I had too. Or else in the winter/spring of ‘11.
Sure sounds like our local Barnes & Noble. Makes me want to puke every time I walk in.
asking for this for Christmas?
Well, n-4. Kodiak Bear. Separated from the RINO pack. nuff said
adj-3. Certainly suits her "outsider" creds. And the GOP can't seem to control her which explains their dislike of her.
Nest EGG!?!
Barracudas Have Nest Eggs?
Perhaps She Will Be ‘Sharpening’ Her ‘Skills’ like a Momma Grizzley !
AP has just updated that the ebook will not be released until Dec. 26, to maximize hardcover sales.
“new/used/eaten by a dog”
Y’know, chewed by a dog, I’d go for. Eaten by a dog - I dunno...
Colonel, USAFR
FReepers are so dang picky !!! sheesh !!! :oP
Wonder if PravdABDNC is going to like it??
Pray for America and Gov Palin
Nope. This one, I am preordering on Amazon. Or maybe I'll go the barnes and nobles the first day it is out. I love to try to get a reaction from the cashiers.
November 17th is a Tuesday and Tuesday is my day off, so I’ll rush out and buy it the first day its out.
Wouldn’t be funny if there people lined up at the bookstores to buy Palin’s book? The MSM and other assorted Palin haters would have a fit.
The book will be sold out before its even released. Bank on it! Pre-release is gonna be insane
There are some issues I agree strongly with Sarah Palin on, abortion, the need for a strong defense, and drilling our own oil, etc"
What an absolute idiot....and no surprise the poster is from MA. No doubt, PDS will grow even more acute among the communists.
OH YEAH I buy that book
